- 16' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alessio Cragno made 420 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 21' UC Sampdoria are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Cagliari Calcio backline.
- 26' Poor challenge from Diego Godin. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 31' Nahitan Nandez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 182 appearances.
- 36' UC Sampdoria seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
